Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-

The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-

side can result in a false reading.
